Orange-glazed chicken sounds sophisticated, but the flavor is incredible. This French-style dish is quick and easy to prepare with minimal ingredients, making it a luxurious dinner even on a weeknight. Skin-on chicken breasts are pan-fried until crispy on one side, then brushed with an orange glaze and finished in the oven. The chicken turns out juicy on the inside, with a crispy, sticky exterior and a wonderful citrusy, honey-toned flavor.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Preheat oven to 190°C.
  2. Generously season the chicken breast halves with salt and pepper. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and fry the chicken skin side down until golden brown, about 5 minutes.

  3. Prepare the orange glazeMeanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium heat, heat the orange juice concentrate, honey, salt, and black pepper to taste and simmer for 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
  4. Flip the chicken and brush each piece with glaze. Turn the chicken skin-side up and transfer the pan to the oven. Bake until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) to 175°F (76°C) on an instant-read thermometer, brushing with glaze halfway through, about 15 minutes total.
  5. Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes on a cutting board. Remove the chicken breast from the bone and slice the meat diagonally. Transfer the chicken to a serving platter and serve.
